The Anjing Kintamani-Bali, also called the Kintamani-Bali Dog, is a provisional FCI breed from Indonesia and belongs with Asian spitz and related breeds. It is associated with Bali, where village and mountain dogs shaped a medium, agile dog with prick ears, a plumed tail, and a weather-resistant coat.
The FCI standard describes a medium-length harsh outer coat, shorter hair on some parts of the body, and accepted colors including white, black, fawn, and brindle. White is especially associated with the breed, often with biscuit or apricot shading on the ears. Temperament should be alert, intelligent, loyal, and independent, with enough territorial instinct that early socialization matters.
This breed is best for owners who respect a primitive-spitz temperament: affectionate with familiar people, watchful around strangers, and likely to need management around small animals, unfamiliar dogs, and property boundaries. It can be a rewarding companion, but it should not be treated like a generic medium family dog.
This breed tends to suit homes looking for a alert, agile, loyal companion, with daily rhythms shaped by high energy, moderate barking, and low drooling.
